What is Ozempic?
Ozempic is a patented brand-name medication called a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist. Ozempic is FDA-approved for the management of certain symptoms and risks of type 2 diabetes.
How does Ozempic work?
Ozempic works by slowing the digestion process, which can help you feel full for longer. Ozempic, like other GLP-1 receptor agonists, acts like a hormone your body naturally makes to regulate blood sugar and may help support weight loss.
Important Safety Information: Ozempic treats type 2 diabetes but may be prescribed off-label for weight loss, if appropriate. Ozempic may have serious side effects, including possible thyroid tumors. Do not use if you or your family have a history of a type of thyroid cancer called MTC or MEN 2. Read more about serious warnings and safety info.
